10 Minutes On Your Hands

All of us need to keep our fingers and hands flexible regardless of our age. Flexible hands come from exercise. This exercise will help keep your hands in good condition and will also help those who have arthritis. So look after your hands with this simple workout.

Star with your wrists. Your arms should be bent, elbows tucked closely to your sides and hands held with palms facing each other about 30 cm apart. Now slowly bend your wrists so that your palms come in to face you and fingers almost touch, and then move them back the other way, until palms face the front. Repeat this action 10 times.

Next, start with hands in the same position as before, but this time circle your hands slowly from the wrists, 10 times in clockwise direction and 10 times in an anticlockwise direction keeping your wrists and your hands relaxed.

Moving on to fingers, hold up one hand, fingers outstretched. Fold your thumb across your palm and gently close fingers down over it and then open up. In the same way close the fingers, this time closing your thumb over the top of your fingers. Try not to clench your fists, just fold them. Repeat this 5 times for both hands.

Lastly hold one hand up again. Now touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your finger in turn, making a circle shape as you do so to ensure you stretch your fingers as much as possible. Straighten fingers in between each touch. Repeat on each hand for 3 times.

Winter Beauty Tips

Winters are here and with it many dryness problems. Here are some tips to combat your winter beauty problems and look fresh.

1. Cleansers can strip away moisture while removing make up, and the dry winter air tends to magnify this problem. Gel cleansers can be very drying, but creamy ones like Dove deep moisture creamy facial cleanser can help. Choose a cleanser that comes with moisturizer in order to keep your skin free from dry patches.

2. A moisturizing facial mask should be used to replenish moisture lost throughout the day. Facial masks should be applied after cleansing so they can nourish the clean skin.

3. There may not be enough moisture in your house if your skin is feeling dry and tight. Get a humidifier to balance the heat inside. Overheating a house can worsen dry skin problems, so find the right temperature for both you and your skin.

4. Even electric blankets can be drying. If dry skin is driving you crazy, just use two or three quilts and leave the electric blanket.

5. You should moisturize throughout the day. Use the body lotion even before you have left the shower, right after rinsing soap or body wash. It will lock in some extra moisture. After that rinse off and pat dry.

6. You may be tempted to take a hot shower in winters but they wreak havoc on dry skin. Take a lukewarm shower instead, and then pat your skin dry with a towel. Put on the moisturizer as soon as you step out of the shower.

7. All the skin products and hairstyling products that are high in alcohol should be avoided. Alcohol may feel cool and refreshing initially, but in reality it also strips away moisture. So look for alcohol-free products when the air is already dry.

8. If you have dry, brittle hair, do not use the hair dryer. It will only make the dryness worse and break dry rough hair.

9. Moisturizer should be used throughout the day. Drinking lots of water can also help in the winters against the dryness. Use products which contain Shea butter, petrolatum, mineral oil, tea tree oil, linoleic acid or glycerin

10. Chapped lips are another problem winter. The air dries out the lips and licking your dry lips continuously can worsen them. A lip balm with a SPF should be used to heal the lips. Lips balms with tea tree oil, glycerin, vitamin E and essential oils and beeswax can be useful.

Sunless Tanning Tips

• Try the light to Medium products if you have fair skin or the Dark formula if you have darker skin.

• Before applying sunless tanners, cleanse and exfoliate skin with a soft loofah or cloth to achieve a longer-lasting, even tan and allow it to dry. Any dry patches will absorb too much color and your tan will look uneven.

• When applying to the face, avoid spreading in or around eyes.

• Use sparingly around knees, ankles and elbows where formula can develop darker. Apply a thin even coat over your body. Using either horizontal and vertical strokes or a circular motion.

• Use a sponge paintbrush, available at any hardware store, to apply self tanner to your back. Look for one that is from two to three inches in size. Wash before use and let it air dry.

• When using spray products spray and blend quickly and thoroughly over one body part at a time. Do not saturate. Apply a lighter amount of sunless tanning product to areas with thick, dry skin such as elbows, palms and knees.

• Wash hands with soap and water immediately after application.

• To tan the backs of your hands, apply with a make-up wedge in smooth even strokes being sure to blend in evenly. Tan hands and feet--If you use a selftanner on your hands and feet, use a make-up sponge to blend well around the fingers and toes. If you take your time in applying carefully, it will look very natural.

• Avoid contact with clothing, fabrics, furniture, and carpet.

• Wait one hour before applying any foundation or moisturizer or before swimming or bathing.

• Reapply as needed to maintain or deepen color.

• Drooping Lips--Cover the corners of your mouth concealer. Use a lip pencil to subtly extend lip corners upward. Then fill in color.

• Lines around mouth--Apply almond oil around the mouth to keep your lips supple and soften the lines.

• Whiten your teeth--Change your shade of lipstick and brighten your smile. If your teeth are grayish, reach for warm shades like bronze or copper. If your teeth are more on the yellow side, pick cool, blue-based shades.

• Chapped lips: Exfoliate your lips by using an old toothbrush and a menthol based lip balm. Apply lip balm first, and then brush gently with the toothbrush.

• Hate that "lipstick-y" look?--Fill in your entire lip with a lip pencil only.

• Homemade lip balm can be made with 1 cup almond oil, 1 ounce of bees wax, 2 teaspoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of rose or vanilla extract for flavor. Mix all of these ingredients over a low heat until well incorporated, then store in an air tight container for use.

• Just like our bodies, our teeth and gums need certain essential vitamins and minerals to stay healthy and strong. Babies, children and adults all need ample amounts of the minerals calcium and phosphorous, and the vitamins A, C and D to ensure proper tooth development and strength.

Tips for beautiful blush

Blush is an important part of make-up. With the help of an accurate applied blush you can refresh your face, make it looking much better and healthier. To make blush look natural, you should put it on just enough to highlight your cheeks, but not be able to tell it is there.

The color of blush must match to the skin and hair color and lipstick and nail polish color also. Palette of beige and pink tints is appropriate almost to everybody. All tints of beige and pink are suitable to light skin; more dark tints (coppery and coral colors) are suitable to brown sunburned skin. Orange tints are suitable to red-haired women.

• If you use powder blush apply it after powder to blend it in lightly and achieve more accurate shading. • Apply cream blush before you put on powder and blend well to define your cheek bones. Now follow with powder. • Blush is put on at few directions. If you have an oval face put blush on the cheek-bones. • Round faces seem to be longer if the blush is put on from temples to lip corners like triangle. There is the simplest way to put on the blush, which is appropriate to everybody. Put blush on the cheek like an oval at the nose level. If you put on too much blush, cover cheek with some quantity of light powder. The color of blush becomes softened. • How to find more suitable color. The most important thing for choosing the right color is skin color, hair color and shape of your lips. For light skin and blonde hair: all shades of orange, pink, purple. For dark skin and dark hair: all shades of red, violet. For light skin and dark hair: all shades of brown and beige. For red hair women: coral-red, brown and bronze colors. • To slenderize a round face, Sweep bronzer over temples, cheekbones and under your chin. Use a fluffy brush and light powder to highlight forehead, cheekbones and tip of chin.

Nail Care Tips

Most mammals have claws, and humans are no exception. Our nails are designed to protect the fleshy fingertip and help us manipulate small object.
Although nails are actually dead tissue, they grow from matrix of living flesh beneath what is called the nail bed, or the fold of skin at base of the nail, ata rate of one-eighth inch per month. A complete nail grows in six months. As the cells push up from the fold, they hidden and become keratin.

• Pay special attention to the corners, where streaks of nail color may remain.
• Soak hands in a bowl of warm, soapy water with a pinch of salt.

Hands Care

Just like the skin on your face or the hair on your head, your hands need a little extra special attention if you want them to look good. The some basic principles are:

1. Cleanse and Exfoliate. Wash with a gentle glycerine or Castile soap and gently exfoliate, once or twice a week, with an oatmeal- or clay- based soap. If your hands are extremely dry, use a super-fatted soap.
2. Moisturize. Twice a day, and always after doing dishes or washing your hands, apply moisturizer. Hands that are dry, cracked, or chapped are not only uncomfortable but also more susceptible to infection: the skin is a protective covering, and when it's ruptured, bacteria can get through its tiny cracks
3. Use Sunscreen. Exposure to the sun accelerates aging on the hands as well as the face, which means wrinkling and brown spots. Brown spots most commonly appear on the hands and face. They are concentrations of melanin triggered by too much sun exposure over too long a period of time. Regular use of a good sunscreen minimum SPF 15- will prevent brown spots over 90 percent of the time. so when you apply sunscreen to your face in the morning, make sure to put some on the backs of your hands, too.
4. 
   
Protect your hands. Wear rubber glove when you clean with harsh detergents or wash dishes. Because heavy-duty rubber makes you sweat, which makes the skin dry and puny, apply a thin layer of moisturizer before you put them on.

Hand Creams

• When it comes to skin care, hand creams keep your body supple and revitalized.
• Since our hands go through so much each day, they need a little extra attention to maintain their femininity.
• Hand Creams apply the same moisturizing principles to your body, as anti-aging skin creams do for the face.

There are many benefits to using hand creams, as they reduce the signs of aging. For instance, hand creams will help rid you of:

• Sores
• Eczema
• Redness
• Brown Spots

Hand Cream will leave your hands feeling soft, silky and ready for the day.

Types

• Choosing the right hand cream comes down to understanding your individual skin needs.
• For instance, although bleaching cream will help lighten, tighten, and moisturize, it may not be best for your hands.
• Keep your hands soft and supple with Arnica Hand Cream
• Don’t forget the importance of protecting your skin with sun screen.
• Many face and hand creams have built in sun screen, which will protect you all day long, even through the winter months.
• Sun screen does’t have to be sticky and heavy, in fact most skin creams have light and moisturizing sun screens already built in.

Another quick tip for maintaining smooth hands is to wear rubber gloves when you wash the dishes. This protects your hands from the moisture zapping effects of the dish liquid.

Hand Care Tips
